Elsewhere - that is interesting (running):
[quote]Landing on your heels (red shoes) is, essentially, hitting the brakes with every stride. You have to overcome that deceleration by hitting the gas pedal hard at every toe off. And the time it takes to get from heel to toe is just lost time—time spent going no where.

Landing with a flat foot (orange shoes) greatly shortens ground contact time and moves you forward more quickly. This is the way fast runners run. In fact, the research (below) also supports this method and shows that the longer your foot is on the ground, the slower you are running. Makes sense.

Yeah that was a really good timely article sid. Thanx.

I've recently had bad neck pains from having altered the position of my bars, I angled them down too much causing me to have to strain my neck to look up and see where I'm going just like in photo 2.

Could really see the benefit of having a proper re- fitting of the bike to match my improved fitness and desire to go faster after the summer season.

Has anyone had a proper re-fiting done at either Geoffrey Butlers or Pearsons and how much did it cost???

Cheers,
Kasper
